SustainedCloudVirtualization & Consolidation
Collapse server sprawl onto Proxmox and cut licensing cost. The obvious move to make after the VMware-Broadcom shake-up.
When you need this
Sound familiar?
- Your VMware renewal quote just doubled, or tripled.
- Every server runs exactly one application, and most of them sit idle.
- Nobody is quite sure what server number four actually does.
- The rack is full, loud, and hot, and you still need more capacity.
Why it matters
Server sprawl is money leaking out in licensing, power, and admin time. Consolidation turns a rack of half-used machines into capacity you actually control.
How it works
The service, explained.
Collapse the sprawl onto one platform
We consolidate underused physical servers into virtual machines on a single Proxmox host, which frees rack space, cuts power draw, and simplifies backups. Capacity planning gets easier when everything lives in one place you control.
Cut licensing without cutting capability
After the VMware and Broadcom pricing changes, many teams pay far more for the same thing. Proxmox gives you snapshots, rollback, and live migration without the per-socket licensing, and we handle the move so nothing breaks in transit.
What you get
What's included
- A sizing plan for the target host, based on measured load rather than guesswork
- Your workloads migrated to Proxmox VE, one at a time, each with a rollback path
- Snapshots and a backup schedule configured from day one
- Handover documentation: what runs where, how to reach it, how to restore it
The process
The flow, end to end.

FAQ
Common questions.
Will anything be down during the migration?
Machines move one at a time in maintenance windows we agree with you, and the original server stays untouched until its virtual copy has proven itself in production. If anything misbehaves, we switch back and try again later.
Do we need to buy new hardware for this?
Usually not. Consolidation is about using the capacity you already have: most fleets we see run at a fraction of what the hardware can do. If your servers really are too old to carry the load, we tell you before the project starts, not halfway through.
Is Proxmox actually solid enough for production?
Yes. It has run production clusters across Europe for well over a decade, and it is what we build our own infrastructure on. You get snapshots, live migration, and clustering, without the per-socket licensing that made VMware bills explode.
What happens to the old servers afterwards?
Whatever serves you best: one usually becomes a spare or a backup target, and the rest are decommissioned. We wipe the disks properly before anything leaves the building, so retired hardware never becomes a data leak.
